Doctors are baffled at the fast weight gain of an 8-month-old baby in the Indian state of Punjab. It is not yet known what is causing Chahat Kumar for rabid appetite. She weighs 38 pounds and was born without any complications.

The weight of the baby started ballooning when she was around 4 months old and her parents said she cries whenever she is not fed.

Chahat’s father Suraj saod, “It’s not our fault… God gave this condition to her. It’s not in our hands. I feel bad when some people laugh at her for being fat.”

Chahat’s skin is very thick and this has made the doctors unable in obtaining a blood sample.

It is also reported the small baby is experiencing sleeping problems as well as breathing issues due to her extreme weight.

Chahat’s mother Reena said, “We don’t have enough money for her treatment, but we do our best to make sure she gets well.”

Doctors have recommended the parents to take Chahat to a pediatric specialist at the Civil Hospital, but the family is unable to afford the fees.

Doctors added Chahat’s increasing weight need to be controlled and she need to eat less. Presently the baby eats like a 10-year-old kid.
